Mummy's little helpers

My daughters made me really proud yesterday evening. I'm a proud mother whatever they do (within reason, of course), but yesterday they really excelled themselves.


There I was doing my usual thing of cajoling them into picking their toys off of the floor, so I could get on with the hoovering, but I needn't have tried so hard. 


My nagging for help often falls on deaf ears and for an easy life I end up picking the bits up myself, but on this occasion after a few desperate pleas, they not only set about picking things up, but they even began folding clothes, plumping cushions, pairing up shoes and lining them up in the hallway.

After I'd finished hoovering I sat down for a breather, but they weren't stopping. They wrapped up the hoover wire and pushed it away into the cupboard, which is more than I often manage. I'm starting to realise the return on my investment with these kids. Lol.

Well done to my beautiful mini helpers. More of the same please.

Lol Charlotte,

Bob's just turned 1 right? I say give her another two or three years and you'll be good to go. Hahaaa xx

Isn't it amazing when they do that? You go blue in the face asking them to tidy, say thank you, put their shoes, etc. etc. all to no avail...
And then, suddenly, one day, it clicks! :-)

Hahaa Stu, you so make me laugh. 'Blue in the face' is SPOT on. You beg and plead, then bingo.

I'm wondering if it was just one of those fluke thingys. Hope not : )

Fantastic! It goes to show they DO listen, even when you think they don't. Now, if you could have a word with mine that would be great :) BTW, I came over from Mummy's Little Monkey!
